    In the imperial palace, Zhang Youzhi served tea to the emperor. The tea was fragrant and refreshing, and his mouth was filled with fragrance after one sip.

    Wang Hongyi took a sip and listened to some domestic situation reports.  [com]

    "You said that many people want to cultivate themselves and recuperate?"

    "yes!"

    Wang Hongyi smiled after hearing this, stood up and walked around, looking outside thoughtfully.

    The dragon's energy in the palace is dense. This is the yellow energy that comes from winning the world. This yellow energy has proved that Dacheng is now prosperous and prosperous, but there is still a trace of red that has not been exhausted.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Confucian scholars have written letters to cultivate themselves and not shake the foundation of the country.

    "Confucius said that the Doctrine of the Mean is the supreme virtue. I have chewed these words over and over again, and then I remembered that the Han family has its own saying of Tao Wang Bazazhi. This principle of governing a country, how can we rest and recuperate?"

    Zhang Youzhi knew that these were extremely important words, which implied the emperor's concept of governance, so he immediately pricked up his ears and listened.

    Wang Hongyi smiled again when he saw this, and said: "A doctor does not just lie down to treat people, but also guides them to walk, and uses the five animals to play with them to strengthen them."

    "This is also true for the country. It is right not to shake the foundation of the country, but what is the foundation of the country?"

    "The country has millions of soldiers. Using less than 50,000 soldiers will not shake the foundation of the country, not to mention there are a lot of benefits. If I follow those rotten Confucians and insist on peace and quiet, I will raise them for more than ten years, and I will not know how to be brave but not shameless  ¡­You don¡¯t even understand that flowing water does not rot the door hinges and does not cause beetles, what a cynical view!¡±

    Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi's eyes flashed with sparks, and Zhang Youzhi's heart tightened after hearing this.

    In fact, most of the people in the cabinet, including himself, had this idea. Before they could change their minds, they heard Wang Hongyi say again: "Since ancient times, soldiers have never understood how a gentleman cooks."

    Zhang Youzhi suddenly heard this and couldn't help but be startled: "A gentleman's chef?"

    "Yes, the previous dynasties wanted to directly conquer Annan, for example. The previous dynasty was a successful example. It first sent an army of 200,000 to conquer the enemy. After the expedition was successful, it forcibly moved millions of Han people to establish military camps.  The Cao family has been established to guard the country for generations, but even so, the finances cannot be taken care of by themselves, and large subsidies from the imperial government are needed. In addition to military expenditures, it can be said that tens of millions of taels of silver are spent. It takes ten generations to be considered assimilated. This price is too high, so many  People think that expeditions to barbarian lands waste the country¡¯s capital.¡±

    Wang Hongyi looked at it and asked, "Do you think so too?"

    Zhang Youzhi pondered for a while and said: "I have been an official for seven or eight years. I have seen the shortage of money and food in the imperial court. I really thought in my heart that if I reclaim a piece of these remote lands, it will be the burden of the imperial court for a hundred years, and it will also be the burden of the imperial court."  There are repetitions, it doesn¡¯t matter when you have plenty, but when you don¡¯t, it¡¯s very difficult.¡±

    After a pause, he continued: "The previous dynasty opened up territory and fought repeated wars for several years. One hundred thousand troops had to be stationed in the border areas, spending millions of taels of silver. In order to open up a new territory in Xinjiang, our predecessors spent countless amounts of money.  How much food will it take for a long time And this is not only money and food, but also the problem of the frontier generals not being able to lose their tails. Naturally, no one dares to move when the Holy Lord is alive, but how can descendants be like this for generations? This is not something that a minister can say, but this is true.  If you don¡¯t have real ideas, you won¡¯t dare to lie to you.¡±

    Wang Hongyi couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this long story: "So after a few lessons, you would rather be restrained than dare to open up Xinjiang lightly. These two extremes, even according to Confucianism, is it the golden mean?"

    Zhang Youzhi stood up, saluted, and said, "Please give me your advice, Your Majesty."

    "A gentleman's kitchen consists of three steps: slaughtering, plucking the hair and removing the viscera, and cooking. How can a gentleman eat raw meat?" Wang Hongyi said with a smile: "For example, in the grassland, I have to work hard to clean the grassland and bring it into my rule.  Sending 300,000 troops may not bring peace of mind in ten years. In the future, hundreds of thousands of troops will be stationed, and the annual military expenditure will be more than five million taels of silver This is indeed unbearable."

    "But why do we have to do it in one step? What I want first is differentiation. You have heard about the Eight Banners System. From now on, each banner will have its own banners and separate areas from each other. No more than one step is allowed. Violators will be attacked together. What do you think of this step?  , can I do it?¡±

    Zhang You was startled. At this time, the report of the Youzhou battle had been transmitted, and he appeared in front of Wang Hongyi and the cabinet case, and the news of the annexation of the state had also been transmitted.

    Youzhou was attacked by the navy and Lu Gao in three places and was completely defeated. The ten thousand households who stayed behind were trapped in the isolated city. They could be captured before their eyes. It can be said that Youzhou was basically pacified and all the Han territories were recovered.

    In Bingzhou, 100,000 Hu troops besieged the border. The Great Khan finally discovered the delaying strategy and launched an attack on the city, but was unable to advance due to Fan Liuhai's resistance.

    In fact, the decline of the Khanate began when Urbo was defeated and died. Urbo accounted for 40% of the black dragon's energy. His death directly led to the decline of the black dragon. If Urbo had not died, he would not have died.If anything else, at least many tribes would not rebel.

    In a sense, having no successor does make it easy for people to have other thoughts.

    "Is this what is called the end of the situation?" Zhang Youzhi thought, but responded: "Your Majesty is wise, it can be done."

    "Yes, there are eight banners now. In the future, they can be divided into eighteen banners. Later, they will be increased to twenty-eight banners and eighty banners. Of course, this cannot be done in one day."

    Wang Hongyi saw Zhang Youzhi¡¯s eyes light up, as if he understood, and said: ¡°That¡¯s all, the key is religion. Hey, Brahma is still valuable in this regard.¡±

    "Declaration of the Mongolian and Han Tribes to unite and jointly avenge the Manchus": "Manchuria divided our Mongolian tribes and established Khans and kings to contain each other and dissipate the power. In addition, generals were appointed to manage the affairs.  The ministers are in various places. They want to hold my real power and control my death. They set up Lamaism to design poison to destroy our ancient race."

    Wang Hongyi was prepared to use these three strategies, but out of his own wisdom, Wang Hongyi said: "Cattle and horses are expensive in the mainland, especially cattle for farming. It is difficult for three households to have one cow. After I set up the Eight Banners, I will ask the Eight Banners to serve me."  The cattle are raised and traded every year, and the cattle can be exchanged for tea, silk, and porcelain."

    The Manchu Qing's m¨¦ng-making skills were only weakened, but they still needed to be appeased every year. However, Wang Hongyi learned from the British and American colonies and knew that the only way to be king was to continue to plunder.

    "The Eight Banners have a year of herding and farming, and millions of cattle are sold, so that every household in the hinterland can have a year of farming. In this way, the cultivation of farmland will be more than five times?

    And tea, silk and porcelain can be dumped every year, and the profit is about five million taels. This actually treats the grassland as a colony.

    From the perspective of dragon energy, it is equivalent to drawing out the luck of the grassland every year and giving it a great success. There are two blood drawing pools in the grassland and customs. This alone can extend the life of the country for a hundred years.

    Zhang Youzhi¡¯s eyes lit up again: ¡°Raising cattle on the grassland is really an unprecedented big deal, but will the grassland people be willing to do it?¡±

    After a pause, he continued: "In this case, does it mean that it would be more convenient for the government to raise cattle if we occupy it directly? Why trade it to the barbarians?"

    Zhang Youzhi is not a pure Confucian after all. If the benefits are huge, he has forgotten his original intention.

    "Hey, if you occupy it yourself, you won't be able to raise cattle Zhang Qing, no matter how hungry you are, can you cut off your own limbs to satisfy your hunger?" Seeing that he still didn't understand, Wang Hongyi revealed the secret: "Raising cattle on the grassland will only be profitable.  However, a large number of Hu nobles will drive the herdsmen, and the bloodshed and suppression have nothing to do with this dynasty, and it does not cost a soldier, a general, a penny or a meter."

    "After the trade, a large number of silk tea toys came in, and the upper-class Hu people could enjoy wealth, while the herdsmen became increasingly poor. As long as there was a little guidance, conflicts would continue, causing the Hu people to kill themselves internally and destroy their foundation."

    "This dynasty can calmly divide the Hu people from the Eight Banners into the Eighty Banners. Those who support me will definitely become more successful, and they will not seek Chineseization for a long time but will self-Chineseize themselves!"

    Zhang Youzhi was shocked and deafened. His mind opened and he understood what the emperor meant.

    The emperor¡¯s meaning is very simple, that is, if he occupies the grassland, the grassland will be his own flesh and blood. Not only will he not be able to gain benefits, but he will also have to spend a lot of money.

    But if it is a foreign vassal, not only paying tribute every year, but also exploiting it at will, instigating conflicts and civil strife, and squeezing out the last bit of blood and sweat.

    Not only that, you can also take advantage of both sides calmly. All bad karma will be borne by the Hu nobles themselves, and Dacheng will always appear in a bright and grand manner.

    "The emperor's plan is not poisonous. If you act like this, you will be defeated!"

    Zhang Youzhi was sincerely convinced, but he still had a question: "What about the majority of people who will kiss me in the future?"

    "If more than half of the people who are pro-I Dacheng are pro-I, it means that Sinicization is successful. At this time, the barbarians can be incited to launch a large-scale civil strife, and the pro-I detachment can be ordered to ask for complete surrender to Dacheng. At this time, the court can allow it."

    This is actually the colonial national policy of Britain and the United States, but Wang Hongyi understood it thoroughly and used it with great skill.

    After hearing this, Zhang Youzhi knelt down, kowtowed and said, "The emperor's grand theory truly embodies the golden mean and the true meaning of a gentleman who is far away from the kitchen. The emperor is truly a sage, and I admire him very much."

    Wang Hongyi smiled and said: "Get up!"

    He picked up the good news that Youzhou had just sent and read it carefully.

    Lu Gao issued an order to kill the prisoners. As expected by Wang Hongyi, unlike others, Lu Gao was the former ruler of Youzhou and was forced to surrender by the Hu people.

    To the Hu people, they are not only hostile, but also have hatred for the destruction of their country and family. If they are willing to surrender the Hu prisoners, Wang Hongyi will feel that it is abnormal.

    ??This is very good. Although his purpose is to divide the Eight Banners and turn the grasslands into colonies, these barbarians must pay for their heinous crimes, and it makes no difference at all which tribe of barbarians the Eight Banners absorbs.

    Now, the news that Youzhou was captured by the Han army should have reached Bingzhou. I wonder how much fighting spirit the 100,000 troops led by the Great Khan can maintain if this information is sent back?

    "The decree is passed on. Youzhou will implement the Dacheng Law and be exempted from taxes for three years. Those who are willing to move to Youzhou will report to the government and allocate land" However, after sneering, Wang Hongyi issued another order.

    Due to chaos in Youzhou, the population has dropped sharply and the land is barren. Wang Hongyi must provide various benefits to encourage people from other places to move here.  (To be continued)!  .
